List of Portland, Oregon Protest video sources (2020)
This is a list of 'TikTok-ers' (short format videographers) who made the 2020 Portland, Oregon protest rebellion real-time for many outside observers. The effectiveness of these videos may be an underlying reason President Trump has sought to halt TikTok in the US.

The Portland protests were different than others I had witnessed over decades. Opposition to 'federal agents' sent by President Trump was as much, or more, by protesters carrying the American flag. Previously in protest, it was more common to see protesters burning the flag; a significant change.

Seattle CHAZ/CHOP video source
